This is a nice complex but be careful that you know your surroundings, I have lived here for a year now and I have experienced several gunshots and robberies. The last shooting was in January during an attempted car theft. When I asked the office staff about the incident they informed me that they would be notifying the residents in 24-48 hours, needless to say I havent got anything. Yet and still the light in the parking lot near the incident still hasnt been fixed (building 16505).
Oh yeah, get a P.O. Box at the post office, because you wont get all your mail. On several occasions I have received my neighbors paychecks in my mailbox and God only knows how much of my mail is out there somewhere.
Once they get you in a lease dont expect the same level of service, they are always too busy to even say hello when you come in the office. The young lady that helped me with my lease has since left the property and I have yet to find anyone close to being as nice as she was.
This is a nice property but know what your getting into. Ask lots of questions and make sure they tell you about the "courtesy officer" (HAHAHA)that patrols especially while people steal cars and shoot everything up. Also be aware that during snows you will be stuck because they dont plow both sides of the street.

Yes, when it snows it is really a problem... they don't salt the sidewalks or stairs which tend to get really icey so you have to be really careful or salt them yourself. I think it depends on who you get in the office, as there are a couple of nice people who work there, but in general management is horrible at following up calls. I often have to call about the same problem every day for weeks before they will return a call or even try to fix a problem (and don't even bother about expecting the "24 hour maintenance guarantee", I had to call for over 2 weeks before they came to look at a leak near my window). But, definitely ask a lot of questions and just be aware of what you're getting into. As with any apartments, there are lots of cons, but it's probably the most reasonable apartments for the area and much safer than the rest of the county. Just do your research and you'll be fine.
